I was asked to show my calls at a Learn to Hunt expo taking place in my home town and I was thinking of expanding my booth to include other callmakers here. I am not here to make a dime, the booth space is free.
How it would work -
1. This would not be OG sanctioned
2. Callmaker would send a call or more along with contact info/advertising packet/prices.
3. I will display and man the booth
4. Any $ from sales I will send to maker(no cut for me)
5. Any leftover calls would be shipped back - paid by Callmaker. Or you may donate to LTH
6. I will not be held responsible for lost or damaged product. This is an at your own risk activity.
There has been talk of grouping at shows to make a better impact for small callmakers and this may be a good trial run. Here is the link to the expo's site for more details of what it is.

If you are interested please pm or email. My information can be found in my profile, you can also check out my website for information on myself. I have never had a bad dealing and am offering this to get other callmakers recognition and some table time they may never get. This is a first year expo and I have no idea what to expect, but this area has a dense population of turkey hunters and if its advertised well which they seem they will it should be a good event.

I have had some good response, so I am editing this post.
This thread will keep going so that I can post pics later of the expo.
This sounds like a great opportunity. I may decide to attend, as I probably won't see an expo any closer to me (MI). If not, I'll send you a few calls. Thank you for the offer!
This event is shaping up nicely with good sponsors and speakers for the show. It's a great way for new builders to show their calls off. Randy is doing a great job at advertising it, and with the responces on facebook and other websites it should be a great show.
I'll see you up there Doug.
iam in ,would like to send a couple of trumpet calls to you ,regards,rick alessadrini
To all interested please pm or email so I can give you may address. I would like to have the materials for display around the middle of March so I can plan the table.
Just an update for those that have been thinking or have already contacted me. The organizer of the expo has offered to run your logo on the talknturkey website vendor page. So the sooner you send calls the longer your logo is advertised.
Thanks

With the logo, if you have a website I make the logo a link to your website, just to let you all know. People have been checkig out the links, so it can only help you get more web traffic!

If anyone is still interested I would take doug up on his offer. It's looking like there is going to be quite a turnout. Plus I've been getting a couple hits a day on my website just from having my logo on the expo's webpage.
